Basically the Nomad 2 works the same way. You can easily carry a large bag with camp, gear, etc., then once camp is set up you have a much smaller pack for the day hunting. Once you have an elk down you can carry as much meat as you choose. Really works well. I just like the idea of a single bag, vice two on the Nomad, and the way they allow you to connect the bag such that you compress it, or not. It will be quite a bit more compact and secure in day mode compared to the Nomad. The Stryker is exactly the setup I wanted (from what I can tell so far) after using the MR Mule one season. The MR is a great pack, but it does not feel as good as the Kifaru with a lot of weight on it. I was able to pack out an entire deboned Muley buck including the head but that was at the edge of comfort. The Kifaru distributes weight so well. My hip flexors, knees, etc. are the limiting factors, not the shoulder straps, waist belt or anything related to comfort and the pack.
